Dressed as the daughter of the villain's son?
Chapter 144 Additional Investment
Before Qingyun came, Brother Long felt that it was natural for him to be angry, but when he saw Qingyun trying to please him in such a wronged way, he felt that he was being unreasonable.
Suddenly he thought of the round-faced girl he met when he went to worship the Buddha the day before yesterday. He felt that she looked a bit like Qingyun when he was smiling heartlessly and silly, so he couldn't help but look at her twice more.
My aunt saw me like this, and she said that people who are noticed in temples and Taoist temples probably have a connection with someone from past or present life.
He also said that he and Qingyun had been childhood sweethearts when they grew up, and it was his blessing to be able to develop their relationship now, otherwise why would he have spoken in front of Qingyun.
Long Ge only felt that it was ridiculous, but he also felt a secret joy in his heart. Although he was only eleven years old, he knew that people who didn't speak were not necessarily deaf or blind. He had read all this in books.
He didn't dare to say it. In his aunt's big study, he saw a romance novel that his aunt had read when she was in school. There were many annotations on it, and he thought it was a good book.
The meeting process was back on track. Qingyun enthusiastically introduced her gift to Brother Long. Although this coral ornament was small, it was indeed exquisite.
After Brother Long came back to his senses, his ears turned red. He had really reached puberty, but he was sure that although he liked Qingyun, it was only the kind of love that a brother has for his sister, or a friend has for his friend.
He was led astray by his aunt, but it is normal for him to be curious and attracted to the opposite sex at his age. Could it be related to hormone secretion?
Qingyun said a lot of things excitedly, like Little Qilin No. 2, but when she looked up and saw that Brother Long really looked daydreamy, she couldn't help but get angry.
Fortunately, Brother Long was smart. Even though his thoughts were wild and unrealistic, his ears were still as sensitive as usual. He reached out and touched the cold coral, and uttered two words: "Beautiful."
Brother Long liked the gift she gave him, and Qingyun was easily happy again. Since she found that Fu Shengyu was not as quiet as she described, she could observe another person who was frugal with words up close. These are all materials for the future, so she has to write them down.
Little Qilin finally got the chance to come over and say a few words, but he was so depressed that he didn't expect Brother Long to pull him to sit on the sofa by the window.
After Qingyun sat down, he asked, "Brother Long, what did you mean by money that day?"
Brother Long stood up to get something from the bookshelf. Little Qilin explained for him, "It's about that movie. The director said the funding was not enough and asked if he could add another million in investment."
Qingyun: How do you know that I just got one million today...
"But Brother Long and I each contributed 5 million. My dad said that this amount of money is enough to make several other movies."
These people don't think that she and Brother Long are just children and don't know much about the inside story, so they treat them as fools. Now the housing price in the center of Fengzhou is only 5,000 yuan per square meter, and their movie is not worth this price even if it is decorated with gold.
At this time, Brother Long came with a thick account book. He opened the account book and spread it in front of Qingyun.
The combined salaries of the crew, makeup artists, and actors of all sizes have already totaled over two million yuan. The total cost of the venue, transportation, and props is less than half a million yuan. The extras are paid seventy yuan a day, so eight hundred thousand yuan has been spent to date.
What about the remaining 6 million? Did they just embezzle all the money without even making false accounts?
"Brother Long said that only a few small scenes have been shot so far, and there are two big scenes that have not been shot yet. The director wants to use real shells to make it look more realistic, and special effects can also be done later. The price is lower, but the effect is not good and it looks fake."
Qingyun was silent for a moment, then became unhappy again, "That doesn't require another million."
"The director said the scenes had to be big and shocking, so they went out of their way to interview the general, who sometimes even called them to give them guidance."
Qingyun was speechless. My goodness, did they pay for others to make a documentary? This is not...
Brother Long's expression did not change. It was hard to tell whether he agreed or not. Qingyun didn't know what to do, so he just said, "There's no rush now. Let me ask my father first."
Brother Long nodded, "Actually, I think it's okay not to increase the money."
Qingyun really couldn't understand it. It was impossible to burn money so quickly. If that was the case, it would be better to send the money directly to Jingzhou to please a high-ranking official so that he could rescue Fu Shengyu as soon as possible.
If Wu Xuedai knew about this, she would feel even more wronged. She was going to submit this movie for an award, so how could she let others, not even her own uncle, mess with it?
Not only is she picky about the plot, she also has extremely high requirements for scene setting and picture aesthetics. She has never wasted so many films.
That account book was just one of them. She also had another account book. She shot the film so carefully because she had a sufficient budget at the beginning. She couldn't let the film end in a whimper due to lack of funds.
After finishing the business, Brother Long took out a small box of Bodhi bracelets and jade bracelets from the cabinet under the desk and showed them to Qingyun.
The temple does treat these things as small cultural creations, but Qingyun later found out that these things that cost five or eight yuan could be sold for fifty or eighty yuan in other places.
However, the quality of the jade bracelets could not be seen, so Qingyun only picked up a green one to look at. Putting aside other things, she really liked this color.
"This one with a little golden flower will be the same as the one in that one. That one looks better." The little Qilin thought for a moment and said, "The color of the beads in that one is lighter than this one."
Qingyun nodded, then put the beads in her hand back. Now that she had one, she would make another one like it, like an imitator.
Seeing that Qingyun no longer touched these, Brother Long tilted his head to express his incomprehension. He remembered that Qingyun liked these accessories very much.
Qingyun turned the gold bracelet on her hand and a happy smile appeared on her face. It was made for her by Fu Sheng Yuxin. It was beautiful and lightweight, so she didn't feel tired when wearing it.
Brother Long didn't expect that Qingyun didn't like any of these things, and was a little disappointed. He bought a lot of them on purpose, thinking that even if his luck was bad, there would be one that Qingyun would like.
"Dong dong."
Qingyun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhong Lingxiu with a smile on her face and a tray in her hands. Behind her was an aunt holding a small box.
"Come on, come on, eat lychees. These are the latest batch and they are so sweet." Zhong Lingxiu put down a plate of peeled lychees and brought down another plate of sliced watermelons.
"Qingyun, this watermelon is delicious, crispy and sweet." Little Qilin picked up the fruit fork, picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Qingyun.
The watermelon is really sweet and crisp, and its unique cool scent can bring people into the hot summer and the cool air of the air conditioner in a second.
Zhong Lingxiu had already opened the small box, and inside was a white jade lotus stand the size of an adult's palm and a white jade kitten.
"The God of Wealth loves cats. This one was custom-made by me. I will have it consecrated tomorrow. You can take it home and display it in three months. You will also be able to receive the blessings of the God of Wealth." Zhong Lingxiu put the kitten on the lotus platform. The lazy and curled-up kitten really had some Buddha nature.
Qingyun looked at the kitten and wondered in his mind whether the God of Wealth was a Taoist god or a Buddhist Buddha. If it was a Taoist god, would it be counterproductive to consecrate it in a Buddhist temple?
